Thread: G'day

Hi Everyone,

I'm Marty from Melbourne, Upwey to be more specific.
I've discovered a love of woodworking and have begun to teach myself the craft, I am a scientist by trade and wood is only a hobby at this stage.
I have no particular preference to a particular skill at the moment, I intend on trying most things, using both hand and power tools. I think finishing is currently my most enjoyable part of woodworking, I really love the feel of smooth wood....

I have plans to convert the garage into a workshop and maybe join the Knox woodworkers. I have grand plans to build a workbench along the lines of Groggy.....

I guess the main problem living in Melbourne is sourcing good wood cheap.... any ideas here would be great.

I look forward to spending more time on these forums

Cheers
Marty
